The Patrick F. Daly Award

Twenty seven years ago, Staten Islander and Principal Patrick F. Daly was gunned down in Red Hook, Brooklyn while en route to a student’s home. Shortly after, the Borough President’s Office established an award in Mr. Daly’s memory for educators. With the cooperation of his family, BP Oddo revived the annual award in 2017 to recognize individual educators who demonstrate Mr. Daly’s dynamic qualities and level of dedication to children.

Anyone who may wish to nominate a teacher, guidance counselor, assistant principal or principal may do so. The award will be given in Mr. Daly’s memory, honoring his legacy of service to the community, a steadfast commitment to his students, and his leadership. A ceremony will be held at Borough Hall in the fall to recognize the award recipients.

Nominations are being accepted until July 8th. Nomination forms can be submitted electronically to Renee Sarno at RSarno@StatenIslandUSA.com or mailed to Renee Sarno, 10 Richmond Terrace, G-30, Staten Island, NY 10301.
